Overview

From its elevated position on the corner of a non-through street, this home is surrounded by treetop views and abundant privacy – nowhere more peaceful than from the apex of the terraced hillside that looks out to the San Francisco Bay views. The multi-level reverse floor plan showcases the main living areas on the uppermost level, which allows for ample natural light and towering ceiling heights. Formal rooms are complemented by an office/library plus a tremendous great room with remodeled chef’s kitchen. The home’s 4 bedrooms are perfectly arranged on the second level, highlighted by a spacious master suite with luxuriously remodeled bathroom and large private sun deck. For indoor/outdoor living, a second deck extends from the family room and an inviting garden patio spans the rear of the home. Topping it all off is the home’s incredible location midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley – truly a special place to call home!

Burlingame

Burlingame Hills

Burlingame Hills’ often-overlooked secret— that it’s Burlingame’s greatest value at $1,195 per square foot — again made it the city’s second-most popular neighborhood in 2022 for the most number of sales (after Easton Addition), but like the rest of Burlingame, it suffered by comparison to 2021. 21 homes sold in Burlingame Hills last year, a decline of 38% from 2021 but still 61% increase over the 13 that sold in 2020. Average home values fell slightly, from $3.225 (a 22% increase from 2020) to $3.177 million, but there are enough indicators, like a 53% fall in average DOM from 2021 to 2022 to suggest that, despite the challenges posted by larger market conditions Burlingame Hills has gained a foothold among Burlingame buyers. 

The closest public elementary schools are Hoover Elementary. Nueva Elementary is nearby down the road on Skyline, and is a private elementary and middle school focusing on the arts for gifted and talented children.

All addresses in Burlingame go to Burlingame High School (In 2003, the district lines were redrawn to incorporate this change).

Burlingame shares a common history with neighbors San Mateo, Millbrae and Hillsborough, but only up to a point. Like the surrounding communities, Burlingame was once the site of native Costanoan villages and then part of a Mexican land grant (Rancho Buri Buri to the north and Rancho San Mateo to the south). Burlingame’s history diverges from that of nearby Peninsula cities in the late 1800s, when Francis Newlands, son-in-law of landowner and Nevada Senator William Sharon, came up with a plan to turn this stretch of real estate into a playground for San Francisco’s wealthiest residents.
